sorry for the spam -js :-D I would like to add that my 7500 started started doing this about 2 months ago. The only thing i can think of that might be the cause is a bum cap in either the PSU or mainboard.
what i do is power it up and then instantly hit the ctrl-option-command + power button on my AEK-II and then it boots fine.
